The work of cleaning up private lots
and premises continues undated, and
Palatka, already a clean city, grows
cleaner every day. Large quantities of
chloride of lime has been used as a disin-
fectant and rubbish and trash is not
allowed to accumulate. The doctors re-
port the city distressingly healthy, from
their standpoint. Business, too, is pick
ing up a little, and a man afraid of the
yellow fever cannot be found in town.
All i'm all, Palatka is all right just at this
time.
We are glad to see from the following
item, printed in some South Florida
paper, just which one we do not know,
for it is clipped from the Savannah
Ne,rs, that there are some quarantine Of
ficers who will do their duty, in spite of
the fact that yellow fever is dying out at
Key West. This writer says: ''Quaran-
tine stations are as thick in South
Florida as new county lines. Mr. A. L.
Hitchcock, of Auburndale, started to
Orlando on business last Saturday, and
encountered one of these county line
quarantine stations at Campbell's, south
..surtificates" of all on the train. Mr..
Hitchcock carried paper given him by
DIR. DuckwOrth, who has just been APP
pointed Assistant Health Officer of Polk
County. The long haired exami-
ner of ''surtificates" said it was no
Il
all the Boston brass he could command
and asked the quarantine official by
what authority he proposed to detain
him in that piney woods forest. The re-
ply was rustic and warlike when the ma
tive held aloft a seven inch index finger
and pointing straight at a sixteen shot
Winchester rifle lying across a pine
STUN: mister, thar it is r MIR. Hitch
cock made one step from the top of the
car platform and doubled up in the
ditch like a jackknife, but he crawled out
and was conducted to the fumigation
tent by this Winchester rifle man. The
boss of the quarantine told the traveller
that he could return ON the fast mail
train at $50 that evening, but he would
fumigate him first. Mr.. Hitchcock
sat on cracker box inside the
tent and watched the boss try the satan
ic method of burning sulphur around a
couple of fellows from Naples, on the
Gulf coast. First, these fellows were
made to strip off and wash each other
thoroughly, and while they We're drying,
their clothes We're undergoing a separate
fumigation from burning sulphur in a
big box. The traveller underwent the
same sanitary treatment, and says he
| can stand anything now except the
| warm sunshine, which might cause
spontaneous combustion"

The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but IT is essen
TALLY the same complain
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
IN the Cnited States is de.
creasing every year Sudden
lie tth from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as to scarcely excite
remark. The majority Uf sui
cidcs, committed without APP
parentreason, or under social.
ed "depression Of spirits are
really prompted by nervous
prostratlon, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling;
they threaten the very life OF
the nation, they assail the
SPRINGS of its power and pros.
perity; they wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Everyone should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain chr vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawIess
eating and drinking: the in
tense mental and physical
strain arising from our mad
race after money, position and
influence: the fears and Strug-
gles Of poverty the use Of mar
cotics and stimulants; ourtash-
ion OF turning day into night
and night into day; and, brief
ly, our desperate willingness to
pay any price tor an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng.
fish, nervous dyspepsia, as it
is seated IN the nerves and in
the organs of digestion assinI-
ilation and nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or de-
stroyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no enact
alton TO tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings headache
in the morning; a persistent
duh heavlness or aching at the
base Of the brain; waketulress;
loss Of appetite and disgust
with food; loss of mental ener-
gy and interest in ordinary

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrup
to let it's wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing consump-
tion, severe coughs, Group, asthma,
pneumonia and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief Three
doses will relieve any case, and We
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try bottle,
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year and no case where it failed was
reported. Such n medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be two widely
known. Ask your druggist about it,

A New Medicinal Plant.

A very interesting discovery that o
plant we'll known in India, which is
entirely harmless. destroys the power
of tasting sugar, has been recently
published in Nature by Prof Thistle
ton Dyer. The plant is the gymnema
sylvestre, growing wildly in the Dec
can Peninsula, and also met W tn in
Assam and on the Coromandel colst
A late Governor of Madras and other
residents Of India who have tested
the properties of this plant certify that
chewing two or three leaves OF it abso-
lutely abolishes the tongues pow er to
tlste sweetness. Prof. Dyer's expert
ments with leaves sent to him at
Kew, in England, corroborates their
testimony.
This plant is likely to prove most
valuable addition to modern materia
medica.
It's power to destroy the taste of
sweetness suggests its use by physi-
clans to correct morbid craving for
sweetmeats, which is a source of
widespread disorders of di gestion.
Gen. Files, of Madras, is reported as
having found that gymnema abolishes
"the power of enjoying cigar"
While smokers may not relish this.
physicians may prize imm ensely q
plant which, administered to pa
tients who use tobacco to excess,
would for time, at least, check in
ordinate smoking. The power of the
plant to render tasteles many drugs
which are extremely nauseous prom
ises to commend it to the medical
profession.

Letter From Kansas.

LYNDON, KAN, June 8, 1887.
EDS. CITIzEN:-Beautifu weather
and everybody in a good humor.
More rain fell last night than has
fallen for the past year. The farm
ers are happy and think there are
worse places in the world than Kan
sas.
What splendid rains we are hav-
ing. The wicked chintz bug Las
about suspended business and oats
will make fair crop after all.
Name the town in Kansas OF
twelve hundred inhabitants that has
over six miles of side walk end every
foot of which is in good condition,
with six blocks of ten feet walks, that
is what you can see in Lyndon.
CROP OUTLOOK.

over much of the country, and with
the exception of the oat crop, there
never was, on the 7th day of June, O
better prospect for an abundant har-
vest. Thore are thousands Of acres
of corn in Usage county that will av-
erage four feet high.
Mr.. Sylvester Campbell, late of
Prospect, Pa, is tending ITO acres,
that will yield 0,00O bushels, if the
season is good.
Prospect Boys, think of that!
Everything goes West. Even the
Star of Bethlehem that nearly eigh-
teen hundred and Lightweight years
ago shone out 30 brilliantly in the
east, has beer sighted by a Kentuc-
key Astronomer shining out In great
beauty over n orthwestern Kansas.
One reason why Kansas towns are
enjoying such boom, and spending
so much money in improvements is,
that before prohibition, she sent out
more than $27, 100000 for liquors.
Last year she sent out but $7,OOO,-
900. The difference is used at home,

THE BALL MATCH.

The pitcher fred the ball to twist 1t;
The batter struck so hard he missed it.
The catcher caught the ball and dropped it.
Then rolled it to the pitcher who stopped 1t.
The pitcher then to the batter socked 1t;
The batter shut his eyes and knocked it.
The skot-stop jumped for the ball from
habit,
But jumped not high enough to grab it.
Tne left field from the ground he picked it
And to tie first base quickly slicked it.
The first base tried bu. didn't catch it,
And then raced after the bail to fetch 1t.
The batter went like lightning greasy
And made the second and third base easy.
The first base got the ball and roughed it
To the third base chap who muffed it.
The batter scooted for home a-fying
And tumbled over the base ady.ny.
The crowd set up a terrible yelling,
And charged the players with game a-selling
And first to the umpire gave cutting,
And kicked right out of him the stufing.
The gate keeper laughed at the fun So funny
And then skipped off with the Doodle money
